For a team that would have had every excuse to be tired – which often leads to poor shooting – Milwaukee were hot from the field, shooting 57 per cent overall and 50 per cent beyond the arc. Giannis Antetokounmpo (22 points), Khris Middleton (21) and Malcolm Brogdon (20) all scored 20 or more points.

Five of the Bucks' six games in that 11-day stretch were road games, including stops at Boston, Portland and Golden State. The Bucks finished 3-3 in that brutal run of games, their toughest schedule stretch of the season. Milwaukee now get a couple of days off before beginning a six-game homestand on Wednesday against the Grizzlies.

Harden hot for Rockets

One night after a dreadful shooting performance against the Spurs, James Harden was firing on all cylinders against the Pacers on Sunday. Harden scored 40, hitting nine-of-20 shots (including eight-of-18 three-pointers) to key the Rockets' 115-103 victory.

Knicks battle

The Knicks hit only five of 28 three-point attempts (17.9 per cent) in a 115-89 loss to the Magic.

The Warriors (11-2) will face their second game without Stephen Curry, who is out with a groin strain. The Clippers (7-5) have won three of four games, including an impressive overtime win against the Bucks on Saturday.
